Why hire a professional carpet fitter?
When a carpet is of a poor quality and/or badly fitted, it will not only look bad but will snag, fray and turn up at the edge of the carpet. To the untrained eye, it may look like laying carpet is as simple as cutting it out and gluing it to the floor, but the truth is that the process is much more complex.
There are 3 key stages involved in fitting carpet:
- Before fitting carpet, carpet grippers or gripper rods need to be fitted to the floor of the room. Grippers are long pieces of wood with small pins that prevent the carpet from slipping and hold the carpet in place. The grippers are cut to size with a saw and secured together with angled edges facing the skirting boards. Gripper adhesive holds the rods in place.
- Professionals will lay down lining paper before, preventing the underlay from sticking to the floor, stopping dust and dirt on the floor from getting through the underlay, and enhancing insulation. The lining paper is secured with a staple gun or a hammer tacker.
- It’s now time to lay the underlay. It is placed on the floor loosely with the rubber side facing down. A Stanley knife is used to cut the underlay level with the gripper rods, and gaps between pieces of underlay should be joined with heavy duty tape. The underlay should be flat to keep the carpet flat.
- The next stage is to lay the carpet which is done by unrolling it out onto the floor. The carpet fitter will cut the carpet to size including excess at every edge. The carpet is then cut to the exact measurements required in stages using a carpet tucker to crease it into the skirting board for a sharp edge.
